I’ve been training on Athlean-X for a year and talking to a friend about crossfit. I kinda paid attention to their description of what they did for workouts, but only NOW did I look into it to see what it is all about. I am SHOCKED at how risky this program appears to be…just on the surface.
I am in damn good shape now and I NEVER had to do anything that would even come close to causing me injury. My elbows and shoulders would be toast if I did the workout in such poor form like I have seen from multiple crossfit vids (it seems to me the BIGGER IS BETTER and MORE IS BETTER ideals that are being pushed by this program go way too far). If you want to look good and be in great shape there are great alternatives that are much much safer than crossfit (Athlean-X is just one of them). Why the hell would the majority of people want to “lift like an Olympian” when their goals is not to lift X amount of weight in X number of reps but to be fit, healthy and stay that way for a lifetime! Damn…just damn!
This workout is actually great, just don’t rush yourself, and you’ll be in great shape if you do this everyday.
This isn’t meant for HUGE gains, it’s meant to lose fat while gaining muscle. If you want to be big and slow, look up body building workouts, otherwise, don’t complain about how the workout is setup.
P.S. Don’t look up how to workout and say “That’s not how you workout”. If you know so much, then why are you here?
Okay, please explain this to me. The dude is seriously ripped and is pretty exhausted after this 4 minute workout. I just came back from a crossfit session doing 3 heats of 10 push-jerks, 15 squat cleans and 30 deadlifts in 20 minutes… and I’m actually in the overweight range…. After that I was lying on the floor feeling as if I was going to die. Admittedly I was using just two 10 pound plates, but still… it looks to me like this guy shouldn’t be as exhausted as he is in this vid after that workout….
not trying to be a hero here , but is this enough for a beginner to intermediate level ? and how to crossfit offical page choose the weights when they post the official wod ?
thanks
Musclemen grow on trees. They can tense their muscles and look good in a mirror. So what? I’m interested in practical strength that’s going to help me run, jump, twist, punch.
Some bodybuilders might be able to lift heavier than this guy on a benchpress but when it comes to practical physical challenges I guarantee this guy would win every time because he trains all of his body to work together rather than isolated movements.
a good may to destroy gym materials
i searched crossfit workout, not circus
Worst form I’ve ever seen!!! If I was this guy I’d go back to basics
all this is the training for all day?please answer someone
Do you perform multiple reps of this workout?? I can’t fathom 1set in less then 5 minutes as a workout.

I only watch crossfit videos to make fun of it.
Starting crossfit for the firs time tom. Till now been doing just normal workouts gym rat stuff. I’m in for a rude awakening I feel like
Absolutely terrible form
It’s not ok to drop the weight in my gym …Which sucks arse…
so basically joe is a *FUCKING MACHINE*… did you see that?
Whats the total weight???
Those are “momentum-ups” NOT pull ups. You have to PULL to do a pull up, not flapp around like a stranded fish..
When the pull-ups are the easiest of the exercises………those are not pull-ups.
The dude is alright stop hating
wtf are those pullups
he completed not one correct burpee. try that crap in the military.

What I notice about CrossFitters is that they like to make a lot of fucking noise with those damn fake rubber plates , but still a great exercise
you can have full body workout without the chance of injuring urself u know.
Ya forms wank
Pull ups? More like bitch ups or kip ups.
you gotta kick on pull ups to confuse the body, right babe?
man, injuries, injuries, injuries, injuries 😀 crossfit style xD
Me being in the marine corps, those pull ups are atrocious

o hell naw I ain’t on this level
every time he throw down the bar a part of me died. just put it down, if you can’t, use lighter weight.
Goal: To look like Joe with my shirt off!!!
who the fuck makes this bullshit

Nice crossfit shoe
Literally the dumbest fuckin workout Ive ever seen. Congrats.
those burpees were pathetic
Trying to find out more information that this new craze of cross fit, wow,
1) you have to have specialised gym and equipment
2) the performing Olympic lifts without specialised coaching as a very technical lifting
3) shocking form, mixed with power speed
4) I can see a few people making good results from this
5) myself I would likely injured within minutes of work out,
Myself personally I stick to the traditional bodybuilding of the 40s-to the late 70s
i see stupid people slamming weights
Wow umm What if we are weak? I can only bench about 155 what weight should I do? And should I combine this with strength endurance and power training?
This guy is making this look easy. Im in good shape and tried this today with that weight and its harder than it looks.
No rep on the final 5th dl..
this is not a workout. this is a masochistic body torture.
Great way to bulge or slip a disk…
